Open AccessIsoforms of the neuronal glutamate transporter gene, SLC1A1/EAAC1, negatively modulate glutamate uptake: relevance to obsessive-compulsive disorder
The SLC1A1 gene, which encodes the neuronal glutamate transporter, EAAC1, has consistently been implicated in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in genetic studies. Moreover, neuroimaging, biochemical and clinic...

Serotonin Receptor Subtypes
The fact that nearly all known serotonin receptor subtypes are single subunit proteins, members of the same gene superfamily (the G protein-coupled receptor or 7TM superfamily) and that most are intronless gen...

Molecular biology of 5-HT, receptors
Five human serotonin receptor subtypes belonging to the 5-HT, subfamily (5-HT,A, 5 HT,Dœ, 5-HT,Dß [and its species homologue: rat 5-HT,], 5- HT„, and 5-HT„) have now been cloned and characterized. The cloning of ...

Molecular Diversity of HLA-DRw6 Haplotypes
Two subdivisions of the HLA-DRw6 haplotype have recently been defined serologically as DRw13 and DRw14. We sought to investigate the molecular basis for this serological difference by sequencing the DRß 1 chai...

Detection of an Adenovirus E1A-like Activity in Mammalian Cells
The E1A gene product of adenovirus is responsible for the activation of early viral transcription during a lytic infection (Jones & Shenk, 1979; Berk et al., 1979; Nevins, 1981). We have previously proposed th...
